One Thousand Things

A friend of mine is part of a blogging gratitude community and I began to think it was a really great idea! Bringing thankfulness into each day, and cherishing the small things. They post every Monday on their list of up to 1000 things. So, I'm climbing on board and dragging you with me!

1. Warm slippers on a cool rainy day2. Ability to work and make income3. A warm bed- that is sometimes hard to get out of in the mornings (warm is seeming to be a theme already)4. Kids that are really so easy to parent - at the moment5. Chocolate chip cookies6. A Mom that phones often, even when it sometimes seems at the busiest moment, sorry Mom7. Finding my dog curled up on the downstairs couch gave us a good laugh, he's not allowed even in that room!8. Having a friend e-mail even amidst her super busy schedule

Who Am I?

I am a wife and Mom to the 2 most amazing kids. I have loved being a stay at home- mostly- Mom and have been until the last couple years!!! I'm a nurse and have the awesome fun of teaching university students how to be the best they can at that. I am always looking for a little more to jump into to satisfy my constant curiosity to learn more. I am married to my sweetheart and love of my life. I describe my life like a patchwork quilt or a stained glass window...along with my hope that my life can be looked through to reveal something greater through the glass ... there are lots of little pieces that somehow don't always seem to fit together, but joined together make up the tapestry of my life.

I am most of all a daughter of the King, a child of God. Follower of Jesus!
